Sometimes it’s best to follow your doctor’s advice.
That’s what Angelo did after sustaining a very serious injury on the job and it’s what led him to getting help from Ankin Law.
A few years back, this road construction worker suffered bad injuries in his shoulder when lifting up a barrel at work. It would lead to surgery to repair multiple tears in the shoulder, and the person who was helping him out suggested going to Ankin Law for help.
That’s when we went to work at Attorney Derek Lax and Legal Assistant LaToya Griffith began to get things in order for Angelo. They helped to secure the medical benefits he needed to get back to health while also getting him compensation for his injuries.
Thanks to Derek & LaToya’s efforts, Angelo’s case wrapped up in 2025 with both medical treatment and a settlement.
“I’ve never done this before, and they treated us like family,” said Angelo of the work that Ankin Law did on the case for him.
Success for our firm when it comes to helping those hurt on the job should be no surprise to anyone, since Ankin Law is the largest filer of Workers’ Compensation cases in the State of Illinois.
